The Democratic party lias control of the next Congress. The majority w not quite so large as was hoped for lefore the recent elections, but is enough if well handled .-to perfect much important legislation Po litical majorities are usually worked in the interests of party. ' This goes without ihe saying, for in fact, it would be no advantage for the particular party tosccure a majority if that majority should turn round and support the measures of the other party. Having elected a majority, the Democrats of the United States expect Congress to set that the interests of the Democratic people do not suffer. Tliev do not seek partisan legislation, laws made expressly for the benefit of Democrats and no others. They have no right to ask that of their Senators ami Representatives. All that is expected is -that in the caucus decisions on questions having a political bearing the good of the wholtf party should be the end sought, and not the benefit of any one section. The partial rebuke of our party in the North eastern States should make the Democratic members from those States more willing to abate the!r pretensions on the financial issue; but no advantage should be taken of this to taunt them with their failure.

RUSSIA'S MOVEMENTS. Reports indica? ing the adoption by Rus sia of :i peace policy cone by way of Paris. The Paris correspondent of the London Tdajmph says that Prince Orloff, Rus- siam Ambassador to Franco, has given assurances from the Czar to M. Wadding ton, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the French Republic, that Russia will observe to the letter all her obligations made at Berlin. , On the other baud, as a possible speck of war between England and Russia, let it be noted that a dispatch is published in the Pesther Lloyd, of Vienna, to the effect that a Russian column eight thous and strong is on the road to Herat, the apital jof Beloochistan. It looks very much like Russia desires, after she shall iiave quieted the Bulgarian question; to have a joust withGreat Britain. It is evidently the Czar's purpose to avoid acoufiiit single-handed with any two or three of the Great Powers. FAIRS. Proceeding of the Fourth Day. Charlotte Olvereer. .10. 1 he convention met at the usual hour and was opened with prayer by Rev. B. C. Covington. Rev. W. C. Petty was enrolled as a dele gate from Sandy Creek association.; The committee on periodicals submitted their report, recommending to the Baptists of the State the Biblical Recorder For eign Missions Jonrmil and Kind Wonds, In reference to the Recorder the committee said that it was meeting the wants of the Baptists of North Carolinabetter than at any time in its history. - The report was discussed by Rev" C. -T. Bailey, iter. Dr. Mcintosh, Rev. J. B. Hart well, N. B. Broughton 'and others in behalf of the publications mentioned. The report of the board of State mis sions came up as unfinished business, aud was. without further discussion, adopted. The question of the agency came up as the special order. j - The majority and minority reports made by the committee to whom was referred the report of the mission board, were read. The former recommended that no agent be appointed, that is, that the recommenda tion of the board le adopted, and the mi nority report favored the appointment 67 an agent. It was explained that an amendment had been offered to the minority reporjt to the effect that the agent recommended to be appointed by this report, be selected by the board of" minions, not by the conven tion, i. , Mr. J no. K. Ray was not in favor of an agent. The work had been done well dur ing the year without one, and the board had come up this year for the first time in years out of debt. It was impossible for the agent to visit all the churches in mree or four years: only a few places could be visited, and the work could not lie thorough. Rev. Dr. Jeter said he had been study ing tliis question for years; it hud bten discussed repeatedly in Virginia, and it was his experience and observation that the interest of the Church was best ad vanced by an agent. Of coursejt was im portant that the agent should be an active jftian, of first rate executive abilities and 'attractive talents. ; Prof. Mills had closely studied the field (hiring the last two years and favored the election of a man who should go to the field which it was proposed to cultivate and see if it was worth it. It was -impossible for the hoard -in its office in Raleigh to know where work was most needed. Capt. C. M. Cooke said that the board had a corresponding, secretary who was working there. He did not tuavel around. but the work was done. He had signed i the majority report and was convinced that 1 he was right. j Rev. J. S. FimMoy discussed the consti tutional aspect of the case. Rev. Dr. Pritchanl I said that he did not oppose the . appointment of an agent on general principles, but that the great diffi culty now was that the man to do this work could not be. found. He should have spe cial and peculiar gifts. The question was then put on the minor ity report and it was rejected. "The majority report, which the president explained, left the whole matter of the agency in the hands of the board, was then put and carried unanimously. Rev. Dr. Jeter was granted the privilege of making a statement in reference to a monument for John Kerr, to whose memo ry he paid a handsome tribute. He said that though the great preacher was born in North Carolina, he' had spent most of his life in Virgiuia, and he expected to apply to the Baptists of that State for help to raise a suitable monument to thfe memo rv nf one who had done so much for the cause of religion. Not long ago he visited the grave of the distinguished minister, in Caswell county, ana louna ouiy a smiwi i stone to mark the place. Many of the j people who lived in the neighborhood did ; not know where it was. He would be glad j to receive subscriptions for this purpose. An invitation was extended the minis'- i ters of the convention by the pastor of the j colored Baptist church in Charlotte to j visit the church and see what the colored Baptists were doing. . The report of the Sunday school board was then taken up and adopted without discussion. Adjourned till 3 o'clock, AFTERX'OOX SESSION. The committee to whom was referred the matter in regard to the violation of the Sabbath by various railroad corpora tions and employees of the same in the State, with the resolution of the Presbyte rian Synod of North. Carolina, reported as follows : , , That we believe it to be a great sin thus to desecrate that day which we are (commanded to keep holy, and we are glad to know that our Presby terian brethren are earnestly engaged to prevent such des ecration ; that is a cardinal principle of the Baptists of North Carolina xo Keep and preserve the sanctity of the Sabbath, Una to bo the first State to pay her full quota. -The subscription asked for could be paid in annual instalments. He would receive subscription at anj time. Rev. R. ." Gwaltney introduced a resolution ursine all associations con nected with this body -to report all their, "mission 'work to; the mission board, and: that this would entitle them to representaJ tion on the same basis as staled in the constitution; also that a summary of the .work of the western convention be publish ed in the report of this convention. Adopted. ' ' The finance committee submitted a re port of the following contributions in cash at the present convention, which, was re ceived and adopted : For foreign missions. $227. 29: State missions, $80 51; educa tion. $1G: Sunday schools, 32 .0; domcg- tic and Indian missions, j 20 10; Rome chapel, $6 45; making a total of $Z2 85. The committee on obituaries re Krtetl the death of Rev. Smith Ferguson, of Caldwell county, in March, and Phillip Warlick, of Warlick church, Burke coun ty, with appropriate notices of the lives aiid characters of the deceased members. Reb. N. B. Cobb, offered a resolution expressing the hearty sympathy of the convention with the home missiou boanl of the Southern Baptist Convention and cordially commending it to the Baptists as worthy of their confidence and support ; also a resolution expressing concurrence with the desire of the corresjionding secre tary of the home mission board to secure the services of Rev. J. B.,Hartwell, as missionary to the Chinese in California, pledging contributions to the work, should Sir. -Hart well accept the appointment to the sirtne. The resolutions were adopted. The following resolutions, introduced by Rev. N. B. Cjbb, -were unanimouVty alopted : Ktsol( d That the thanks of the con vention are hereby tendered, first to the brethren and pastor ofUhe Baptist church and other brethren and citizens of Char lotte for thir hospitality extended at , its present session ; second, to Messrs.

Carl Brown, ' DennU Kearney's private secretary, read a speech at Sand Lots to-day, in which he stated thaty Kearney designedly defeated Batler by incendiary speeches in Western .Massachusetts. Kearney decided three weeks before the election to beat Butler, but thought he could accomplish more hy seeming to be Butler's friend than by com ing out against him. so he stayed with him until the week before the election, when he made his very incendiary speeches. i i i e, ate to mis uouv Adjourned with prayer by Rev.

Allen, W. A. Graham, Rev. W. R. Gwalt ney, Rev. F. H, Jordan and John E. Ray then addressed the convention on the sub- EVENIN'U SESSION'. Convention called to order by Vice Pre sident Cobb, who presided dining the ses sion. - The church was crowded to hear discussed the subject of Wake Forest College, its various interests and education generally. A number of the ablest and most -zealous members of the convention participated in the debate and elicited much information of interest on the 'subject. Rev. J. S. Purefoy led off, and in a plain, practical and forcible manner, developed a plan by j which the college and its influence could be j sustained and "developed. He specially! dwelt upon the necessity of Baptists, in j their wills, making some provision, for the j college, and expressed the confident opinion j tl.at the -free endowment fund could soon be raised by proper zeal and interest on the part of the denomination. - Prof. L R. Mills followed, and made a talk specially to Baptist farmers. If their sons are intended for farmers, does it pay to send them to college? The speaker asked this question and answered .it in a manner that must have appealed with di rect force to the minds of his hearers. He showed how by education the lands of farm- ers, once nearly worthless, have wonder. : fullv increased in value, and the applica tion of brain "power, properly trained, have always told in the cultivation of the soil. His remarks abounded in numerous apt il lustrations, which added force to his posi tion that brains are more powerful than bodies. In closing he made an earnest ap peal in behalf of the young men of the country and their proper training and edu cation. . Dr. Wingate, president' of the college, rave facts about the new building at the institution, erected in the interest oi sci- 1 encc as applied to agriculture. By next commencement another new building will be completed, which will add greatly wto the usefulness of the: college. The prospect is bright, the outlook is ful. of hope. The number of students has in creased steadily during the past three years . The Contest in the South. , Special Dispatch to the -Baltimore Sun. Washington, Nov. 10. The defeat of Mr. Yeates in the first North Carolina dis trict and the election of his republican com petitor does not look like there was any in thnidation practised in North Carolina. It ;s very likely that the republicans would have been more successful in the South if r they' had made the least effort to have it I so. ,But from the, very first the republican ! campaign committee here confined its work to the theatre of the Northern and Wes tern States. The amount of money that it sent into the congressional" districts of the South was so insignificant as not to merit notice, and it is believed that during the whole campaign not one campaign speaker from the North appeared on the stump in any part of the South except in Pe tersburg, Va., where the republican candidate was elected. A month ago the chairman of the re publican committee of 'North CarolinJ came here, went to the rooms of the repub lican congressional campaign committee, and besought the managers to send some good speakers to North Carolina, mention ing especially Mr. Blaine. All he could get was a "promise that perhaps Mr. Stockett Mathews, of Maryland, woidd come. - it Air. laxnews weni me Know ledge of the fact has not yet penetrated to this loealitv. While the republican cam- -paign committee thus deliberately aban- doned the oouinio us opponents mc wu testall over the North was wage ! with an earnestness and vigor not often surpassed in presidential elections. Senator Conk lin did what he did not even dare do in the presidential contest went out of his own State to make campaign speeches for his party. Mr. Blaine spoke all over the West and at 'various points in the bast. The most gifted orators of the republican party traversed State after State, speaking from the stump daily. No one will say that there has ever been a more or a more intensely bitter campaign in Massachusetts than the one which has just closed. THE f: FX Ell A I ASSEMBLY. SENATE. 'Pitt E. A. Move. IVin.

The State Executive Coininittee congratu lates the Democratic-Conservative party ol North Carolina upon the result, of the recent Congressional elections at the North. These elections clearly indicate three things which are of consequence to us : First, that the peo ple of this country aie dissatistied with the Republican party -and are unwilling lor the Republican leaders to alllict us longer with their ruinous measures and fraudulent prac fces. Seeond, that the Nationals do not meet with popular favor, and, as a separate organi zat-ion, have utterly failed to impress them selves upon the country : and lastly, that the star of the Democratic party is still in the ascendant, and the people are looking to that party as the only one capable of restoring prosperity to the country, and able to admin ister the government on those Constitutional and just principles, which are essential alike to the happiness' of our citizens and to the perpetuity of our institutions. Thus in the elections held in eight States the Republicans have lost twelve members of Congress; the Nationals have elected four : and the "Demo crats have elected twenty-three, and lave gained seven. M L These facts demonstrate that the people in ' tend to invest the Democratic party with the j full control of the National Government. The Senate of the next Congress will be Democratic ! bv a considerable niajority, and it is-only- necessary for the Democrats of the South to remain steadfast in their allegiance to our or ganization, and our triumph will be complete. It is for us to determine whether the banner on which are inscribed Reconciliation, Home Rule and Financial Reform, shall trail in the dust, or shill be borne on to victory. Every consideration of interest, ot policy aud .of patriotism then urges usto prepare immesiately for the approaching jolitical struggle. Be assured, fellow-citizens, that without preparation, ft-will be impossible to achieve success. Let us i ot by our apathy, our luke warm nets and indifference postpone the accession tooowerol that party; which alone has been able to check' Republican corruption and to arrest the process of oer government towards a centralized despotism. Let us be eteadfast in our devotion to prin ciple, true to oar organization and endeavor by every means to,discounteuance those inde pendents aud disorganizes who oppose o.ur worthy standard-bearers freely and fairly chosen by the Deriiocratic party in Convention ; assembled. In particular do we desire to repeat what we have so often urged the necessity of thorough local organization. It is the town slpp committees, who are charged with the ' most important of all party duties. To them ; is committed the duty of supervising the ' election, and of devising means to bring out i everv Democratic voter tt the polls. They j ought to meet frequently and advise and take I counsel together how best to promote the for tunes of that party-, on w hose success depends so largely the prosperity of themselves and of their DOsteritvJ: In every township, in every ' neighborhood, there ought to be appointed a ; committee of active, elficient, and prudent j partv men, who will undertake to see that ! every Democrat in the precinct comes to the ' polls and casts his ballot for our nominee?, j We therefore urge this upon the township committees; and if in any township it is nc glected, we appeal to our Democratic friends there to send their conveyances for all their ; neighbors who otherwise might not attend the ; , polls. . i4 Let it be clearly understood in every loeali- f, ty that he who fails to vote for our nominee, i . gives half a vote, to the Republican party, and j that the Conservative who casts hU vote for j an independent is taking the surest means to ' break up and destroy the only party which can give relief to our afflicted country. - We t warn ou- fellow -citizens that great ends can- ; not be accomplished except at the cost of some ; inconvenience, and oiten through the sacrifice of bur personal preferences ; -aud we appeal to every man wno naa tne gooa oi tne people at heart to give a portion of one. day to his country, and subordinating his individual preferences, cast his ballot for the nominee of the Conservative party.

(Norfolk Virgixiax.) t; This publication appeals to the people of the South for a staple support. It richly merits it and we 'feel will receive it. We know of no Southern literary venture that has exhibited so much merit, united with an evidence of management that must win for it a position in the ranks of magazine literature and hold it. (Petebsurg Index & Appeal.) The Socth-Atxaxic has thia merit over any of its predeceora in the same arena, that' ( it couteuts are solid, though not heavy, and I that no room appears to have been intended in 1 it for productions of a trashy and frirolous character.
